The main goal of this is to generate timer interrupts only when there is
some work to do. When CPU is busy interrupts are generating at full rate
of hz + stathz to fullfill scheduler and timekeeping requirements. But
when CPU is idle, only minimum set of interrupts (down to 8 interrupts per
second per CPU now), needed to handle scheduled callouts is executed.
This allows significantly increase idle CPU sleep time, increasing effect
of static power-saving technologies. Also it should reduce host CPU load
on virtualized systems, when guest system is idle.
There is set of tunables, also available as writable sysctls, allowing to
control wanted event timer subsystem behavior:
kern.eventtimer.timer - allows to choose event timer hardware to use.
On x86 there is up to 4 different kinds of timers. Depending on whether
chosen timer is per-CPU, behavior of other options slightly differs.
kern.eventtimer.periodic - allows to choose periodic and one-shot
operation mode. In periodic mode, current timer hardware taken as the only
source of time for time events. This mode is quite alike to previous kernel
behavior. One-shot mode instead uses currently selected time counter
hardware to schedule all needed events one by one and program timer to
generate interrupt exactly in specified time. Default value depends of
chosen timer capabilities, but one-shot mode is preferred, until other is
forced by user or hardware.
kern.eventtimer.singlemul - in periodic mode specifies how much times
higher timer frequency should be, to not strictly alias hardclock() and
statclock() events. Default values are 2 and 4, but could be reduced to 1
if extra interrupts are unwanted.
kern.eventtimer.idletick - makes each CPU to receive every timer interrupt
independently of whether they busy or not. By default this options is
disabled. If chosen timer is per-CPU and runs in periodic mode, this option
has no effect - all interrupts are generating.
As soon as this patch modifies cpu_idle() on some platforms, I have also
refactored one on x86. Now it makes use of MONITOR/MWAIT instrunctions
(if supported) under high sleep/wakeup rate, as fast alternative to other
methods. It allows SMP scheduler to wake up sleeping CPUs much faster
without using IPI, significantly increasing performance on some highly
task-switching loads.

- Each cpu now has a PCPU_GET(domain) member to indicate the memory domain
a CPU belongs to. Domain values are dense and numbered from 0.
- When a platform supports multiple domains, the default freelist
(VM_FREELIST_DEFAULT) is split up into N freelists, one for each domain.
The MD code is required to populate an array of mem_affinity structures.
Each entry in the array defines a range of memory (start and end) and a
domain for the range. Multiple entries may be present for a single
domain. The list is terminated by an entry where all fields are zero.
This array of structures is used to split up phys_avail[] regions that
fall in VM_FREELIST_DEFAULT into per-domain freelists.
- Each memory domain has a separate lookup-array of freelists that is
used when fulfulling a physical memory allocation. Right now the
per-domain freelists are listed in a round-robin order for each domain.
In the future a table such as the ACPI SLIT table may be used to order
the per-domain lookup lists based on the penalty for each memory domain
relative to a specific domain. The lookup lists may be examined via a
new vm.phys.lookup_lists sysctl.

7 which corresponds to WSTATE_KMIX in OpenSolaris whenever calling into
it which totally screws us even when restoring %wstate afterwards as
spill/fill traps can happen while in OFW. The rather hackish OpenBSD
approach of just setting the equivalent of WSTATE_KERNEL to 7 also is
no option as we treat %wstate as a bit field. So in order to deal with
this problem actually implement spill/fill handlers for %wstate 7 which
just act as the WSTATE_KERNEL ones except of theoretically also handling
32-bit, turn off interrupts completely so we don't even take IPIs while
in OFW which should ensure we only take spill/fill traps at most and
restore %wstate after calling into OFW once we have taken over the trap
table. While at it, actually set WSTATE_{,PROM}_KMIX before calling into
OFW just like OpenSolaris does, which should at least help testing this
change on non-V1280.
- Remove comments referring to the %wstate usage in BSD/OS.
- Remove the no longer used RSF_ALIGN_RETRY macro.
- Correct some trap table addresses in comments.
- Ensure %wstate is set to WSTATE_KERNEL when taking over the trap table.
- Ensure PSTATE_AM is off when entering or exiting to OFW as well as that
interrupts are also completely off when exiting to OFW as the firmware
trap table shouldn't be used to handle our interrupts.
- Swap the configuration of the first and second large dTLB as with
US-IV+ these can only hold entries of certain page sizes each, which
we happened to chose the non-working way around.
- Additionally ensure that the large iTLB is set up to hold 8k pages
(currently this happens to be a NOP though).
- Add a workaround for US-IV+ erratum #2.
- Turn off dTLB parity error reporting as otherwise we get seemingly
false positives when copying in the user window by simulating a
fill trap on return to usermode. Given that these parity errors can
be avoided by disabling multi issue mode and the problem could be
reproduced with a second machine this appears to be a silicon bug of
some sort.
- Add a membar #Sync also before the stores to ASI_DCACHE_TAG. While
at it, turn of interrupts across the whole cheetah_cache_flush() for
simplicity instead of around every flush. This should have next to no
impact as for cheetah-class machines we typically only need to flush
the caches a few times during boot when recovering from peeking/poking
non-existent PCI devices, if at all.
- Just use KERNBASE for FLUSH as we also do elsewhere as the US-IV+
documentation doesn't seem to mention that these CPUs also ignore the
address like previous cheetah-class CPUs do. Again the code changing
LSU_IC is executed seldom enough that the negligible optimization of
using %g0 instead should have no real impact.

(System TICK) timer, which was introduced due to this and is
driven by the same frequency across all CPUs, instead of the
TICK timer, whose frequency varies with the CPU clock, to drive
hardclock. We try to use the STICK counter with all CPUs that are
USIII or beyond, even when not necessary due to identical CPUs,

#1 there. Unfortunately, using the STICK counter currently causes
a hang with USIIIi MP machines for reasons unknown, so we still
use the TICK timer there (which is okay as they can only consist
of identical CPUs).
- Given that we only (try to) synchronize the (S)TICK timers of APs
with the BSP during startup, we could end up spinning forever in
DELAY(9) if that function is migrated to another CPU while we're
spinning due to clock drift afterwards, so pin to the CPU in order
to avoid migration. Unfortunately, pinning doesn't work at the
point DELAY(9) is required by the low-level console drivers, yet,
so switch to a function pointer, which is updated accordingly, for
implementing DELAY(9). For USIII and beyond, this would also allow
to easily use the STICK counter instead of the TICK one here,
there's no benefit in doing so however.

these days, so de-generalize the acquire_timer/release_timer api
to just deal with speakers.
The new (optional) MD functions are:
timer_spkr_acquire()
timer_spkr_release()
and
timer_spkr_setfreq()
the last of which configures the timer to generate a tone of a given
frequency, in Hz instead of 1/1193182th of seconds.
Drop entirely timer2 on pc98, it is not used anywhere at all.
Move sysbeep() to kern/tty_cons.c and use the timer_spkr*() if
they exist, and do nothing otherwise.
Remove prototypes and empty acquire-/release-timer() and sysbeep()
functions from the non-beeping archs.
This eliminate the need for the speaker driver to know about
i8254frequency at all. In theory this makes the speaker driver MI,
contingent on the timer_spkr_*() functions existing but the driver
does not know this yet and still attaches to the ISA bus.
Syscons is more tricky, in one function, sc_tone(), it knows the hz
and things are just fine.
In the other function, sc_bell() it seems to get the period from
the KDMKTONE ioctl in terms if 1/1193182th second, so we hardcode

Change a few other sysbeep() uses which obviously knew that the
argument was in terms of i8254 frequency, and leave alone those
that look like people thought sysbeep() took frequency in hertz.
This eliminates the knowledge of i8254_freq from all but the actual

ways:
(1) Cached pages are no longer kept in the object's resident page
splay tree and memq. Instead, they are kept in a separate per-object
splay tree of cached pages. However, access to this new per-object
splay tree is synchronized by the _free_ page queues lock, not to be
confused with the heavily contended page queues lock. Consequently, a
cached page can be reclaimed by vm_page_alloc(9) without acquiring the
object's lock or the page queues lock.
This solves a problem independently reported by tegge@ and Isilon.
Specifically, they observed the page daemon consuming a great deal of
CPU time because of pages bouncing back and forth between the cache
queue (PQ_CACHE) and the inactive queue (PQ_INACTIVE). The source of
this problem turned out to be a deadlock avoidance strategy employed
when selecting a cached page to reclaim in vm_page_select_cache().
However, the root cause was really that reclaiming a cached page
required the acquisition of an object lock while the page queues lock
was already held. Thus, this change addresses the problem at its
root, by eliminating the need to acquire the object's lock.
Moreover, keeping cached pages in the object's primary splay tree and
memq was, in effect, optimizing for the uncommon case. Cached pages
are reclaimed far, far more often than they are reactivated. Instead,
this change makes reclamation cheaper, especially in terms of
synchronization overhead, and reactivation more expensive, because
reactivated pages will have to be reentered into the object's primary
splay tree and memq.
(2) Cached pages are now stored alongside free pages in the physical
memory allocator's buddy queues, increasing the likelihood that large
allocations of contiguous physical memory (i.e., superpages) will
succeed.
Finally, as a result of this change long-standing restrictions on when
and where a cached page can be reclaimed and returned by
vm_page_alloc(9) are eliminated. Specifically, calls to
vm_page_alloc(9) specifying VM_ALLOC_INTERRUPT can now reclaim and
return a formerly cached page. Consequently, a call to malloc(9)
specifying M_NOWAIT is less likely to fail.

with the INTR_FILTER-enabled MI code. Basically this consists of
registering an interrupt controller (of which there can be multiple
and optionally different ones either per host-to-foo bridge or shared
amongst host-to-foo bridges in any one machine) along with an interrupt
vector as specific argument for all the interrupt vectors used by a
given host-to-foo bridge (roughly similar to registering interrupt
sources on amd64 and i386), providing functions to enable, clear and
disable the interrupts of the children beneath the bridge.
This also includes:
- No longer entering a critical section in tl0_intr() and tl1_intr()
for executing interrupt handlers but rather let the handlers enter
it themselves so in the case of intr_event_handle() we don't enter
a nested critical section.
- Adding infrastructure for binding delivery of interrupt vectors to
specific CPUs which later on can be interfaced with the code from
amd64/i386 for binding interrupts to specific CPUs.
- Getting rid of the wrapper hack introduced along the lines of the
API changes for INTR_FILTER which as a side-effect caused interrupts
associated with ithread handlers only to get the elevated priority
of those associated with filters ("fast handlers") (this removes the
hack also in the non-INTR_FILTER case).
- Disabling (by not clearing) an interrupt in the interrupt controller
until all associated handlers have been executed, which is crucial
for the typical locking strategy of NIC drivers in order to work
correctly in case of shared interrupts. This was a more or less
theoretical problem on sparc64 though, as shared interrupts are
rather uncommon there except for the on-board SCCs and UARTs.
Note that due to the behavior of at least of some of the interrupt
controllers used on sparc64 an enable+EOI instead of a disable+EOI
approach (as implied by the INTR_FILTER MI code and implemented on
other architectures) is used as the latter can cause lost interrupts
or in the worst case interrupt starvation.

identically in systems having multiple IOMMUs. This continues the
rototilling of the nexus(4) done about 5 months ago, which amongst
others changed nexus(4) and the drivers for host-to-foo bridges
to provide bus_get_dma_tag methods, allowing to handle DMA tags in
a hierarchical way and to link them with devices.
This still doesn't move the silicon bug workarounds for Sabre (and
in the uncommitted schizo(4) for Tomatillo) bridges into special
bus_dma_tag_create() and bus_dmamap_sync() methods though, as w/o
fully newbus'ified bus_dma_tag_create() and bus_dma_tag_destroy()
this still requires too much hackery, i.e. per-child parent DMA
tags in the parent driver.
- Let the host-to-foo drivers supply the maximum physical address
of the IOMMU accompanying the bridges. Previously iommu(4) hard-

IOMMUs of the Hummingbird and Sabre bridges. The Psycho variants
as well as the U2S in fact can can translate to up to 2TB, i.e.
translate to 41-bit physical addresses. According to the recently
available Tomatillo documentation these bridges even translate to
43-bit physical addresses and hints at the Schizo bridges doing
43 bits as well.
This fixes the issue the FreeBSD 6.0 todo list item "Max RAM on

support for bounce buffers on sparc64.

These CPUs use an enhanced layout of the interrupt vector dispatch
and dispatch status registers in order to allow sending IPIs to
multiple targets simultaneously. Thus support for these CPUs was
put in a newly added cheetah_ipi_selected(). This is intended to
be pointed to by cpu_ipi_selected, which now is a function pointer,
in order to avoid cpu_impl checks once booted. Alternatively it
can point to spitfire_ipi_selected(), which was renamed from
cpu_ipi_selected(). Consequently cpu_ipi_send() was also renamed
to spitfire_ipi_send() (there's no need for a cheetah equivalent
of this so far). Initialization of the cpu_ipi_selected pointer
and other requirements is done in mp_init(), which was renamed
from mp_tramp_alloc(), as cpu_mp_start() isn't called on UP
systems while cpu_ipi_selected() is. As a side-effect this allows
to make mp_tramp static to sys/sparc64/sparc64/mp_machdep.c.

only 4; that should be fine though as according to OpenSolaris
there are no sun4u machines with more than 4 JBus-CPUs).

o Change nexus(4) to provide the ofw_bus KOBJ interface instead of
using IVARs for supplying the OFW node and the subset of standard

also allows to fully take advantage of newbus in that drivers like
fhc(4), which attach on multiple parent busses, no longer require
different bus front-ends as obtaining the OFW node and properties

hanging off of nexus(4) with powerpc and b) they were no longer

o Provide bus_get_dma_tag methods in nexus(4) and its children in
order to handle DMA tags in a hierarchical way and get rid of the
sparc64_root_dma_tag kludge. Together with the previous two items
this changes also allows to completely get rid of the nexus(4)
IVAR interface. It also includes:
- pushing the constraints previously specified by the nexus_dmatag
down into the DMA tags of psycho(4) and sbus(4) as it's their
IOMMUs which induce these restrictions (and nothing at the
nexus(4) or anything that would warrant specifying them there),
- fixing some obviously wrong constraints of the psycho(4) and
sbus(4) DMA tags, which happened to not actually be used with
the sparc64_root_dma_tag kludge in place and therefore didn't
cause problems so far,
- replacing magic constants for constraints with macros as far
as it is obvious as to where they come from.
This doesn't include taking advantage of the newbus way to get
the parent DMA tags implemented by this change in order to divorce
the IOTSBs of the PCI and SBus IOMMUs or for implementing the
workaround for the DMA sync bug in Sabre (and Tomatillo) bridges,

by replacing ofw_upa.h and with ofw_nexus.h (which was repo-copied
from ofw_upa.h) and renaming its content, which actually applies to
all of Fireplane/Safari, JBus and UPA (in the host bus case), as
appropriate.
o Just use M_DEVBUF instead of a separate M_NEXUS malloc type for
allocating the device info for the children of nexus(4). This is
done in order to not need to export M_NEXUS when deriving drivers
for subordinate busses from the nexus(4) class.
o Use the DEFINE_CLASS_0() macro to declare the nexus(4) driver so
we can derive subclasses from it.
o Const'ify the nexus_excl_name and nexus_excl_type arrays as well
as add 'associations' and 'rsc', which are pseudo-devices without
resources and therefore of no real interest for nexus(4), to the
former.
o Let the nexus(4) device memory rman manage the entire 64-bit address
space instead of just the UPA_MEMSTART to UPA_MEMEND subregion as
Fireplane/Safari- and JBus-based machines use multiple ranges,
which can't be as easily divided as in the case of UPA (limiting
the address space only served for sanity checking anyway).
o Use M_WAITOK instead of M_NOWAIT when allocating the device info
for children of nexus(4) in order to give one less opportunity
for adding devices to nexus(4) to fail.
o While adapting the drivers affected by the above nexus(4) changes,
change them to take advantage of rman_get_rid() instead of caching
the RIDs assigned to allocated resources, now that the RIDs of
resources are correctly set.

pmap_clear_write() is implemented on all of our supported
architectures, I intend to replace all calls to pmap_page_protect() by
calls to pmap_clear_write(). Why? Both the use and implementation of
pmap_page_protect() in our virtual memory system has subtle errors,
specifically, the management of execute permission is broken on some
architectures. The "prot" argument to pmap_page_protect() should
behave differently from the "prot" argument to other pmap functions.
Instead of meaning, "give the specified access rights to all of the
physical page's mappings," it means "don't take away the specified
access rights from all of the physical page's mappings, but do take
away the ones that aren't specified." However, owing to our i386
legacy, i.e., no support for no-execute rights, all but one invocation
of pmap_page_protect() specifies VM_PROT_READ only, when the intent
is, in fact, to remove only write permission. Consequently, a
faithful implementation of pmap_page_protect(), e.g., ia64, would
remove execute permission as well as write permission. On the other
hand, some architectures that support execute permission have
basically ignored whether or not VM_PROT_EXECUTE is passed to
pmap_page_protect(), e.g., amd64 and sparc64. This change represents
the first step in replacing pmap_page_protect() by the less subtle
pmap_clear_write() that is already implemented on amd64, i386, and

passing a pointer to an opaque clockframe structure and requiring the
MD code to supply CLKF_FOO() macros to extract needed values out of the
opaque structure, just pass the needed values directly. In practice this
means passing the pair (usermode, pc) to hardclock() and profclock() and
passing the boolean (usermode) to hardclock_cpu() and hardclock_process().
Other details:
- Axe clockframe and CLKF_FOO() macros on all architectures. Basically,
all the archs were taking a trapframe and converting it into a clockframe
one way or another. Now they can just extract the PC and usermode values
directly out of the trapframe and pass it to fooclock().
- Renamed hardclock_process() to hardclock_cpu() as the latter is more
accurate.
- On Alpha, we now run profclock() at hz (profhz == hz) rather than at
the slower stathz.
- On Alpha, for the TurboLaser machines that don't have an 8254
timecounter, call hardclock() directly. This removes an extra
conditional check from every clock interrupt on Alpha on the BSP.
There is probably room for even further pruning here by changing Alpha
to use the simplified timecounter we use on x86 with the lapic timer
since we don't get interrupts from the 8254 on Alpha anyway.
- On x86, clkintr() shouldn't ever be called now unless using_lapic_timer
is false, so add a KASSERT() to that affect and remove a condition
to slightly optimize the non-lapic case.
- Change prototypeof arm_handler_execute() so that it's first arg is a
trapframe pointer rather than a void pointer for clarity.
- Use KCOUNT macro in profclock() to lookup the kernel profiling bucket.

and increase flexibility to allow various different approaches to be tried

- Split struct ithd up into two pieces. struct intr_event holds the list
of interrupt handlers associated with interrupt sources.
struct intr_thread contains the data relative to an interrupt thread.
Currently we still provide a 1:1 relationship of events to threads
with the exception that events only have an associated thread if there
is at least one threaded interrupt handler attached to the event. This
means that on x86 we no longer have 4 bazillion interrupt threads with
no handlers. It also means that interrupt events with only INTR_FAST
handlers no longer have an associated thread either.
- Renamed struct intrhand to struct intr_handler to follow the struct
intr_foo naming convention. This did require renaming the powerpc
MD struct intr_handler to struct ppc_intr_handler.
- INTR_FAST no longer implies INTR_EXCL on all architectures except for
powerpc. This means that multiple INTR_FAST handlers can attach to the
same interrupt and that INTR_FAST and non-INTR_FAST handlers can attach
to the same interrupt. Sharing INTR_FAST handlers may not always be
desirable, but having sio(4) and uhci(4) fight over an IRQ isn't fun
either. Drivers can always still use INTR_EXCL to ask for an interrupt
exclusively. The way this sharing works is that when an interrupt
comes in, all the INTR_FAST handlers are executed first, and if any
threaded handlers exist, the interrupt thread is scheduled afterwards.
This type of layout also makes it possible to investigate using interrupt
filters ala OS X where the filter determines whether or not its companion
threaded handler should run.
- Aside from the INTR_FAST changes above, the impact on MD interrupt code
is mostly just 's/ithread/intr_event/'.
- A new MI ddb command 'show intrs' walks the list of interrupt events
dumping their state. It also has a '/v' verbose switch which dumps
info about all of the handlers attached to each event.
- We currently don't destroy an interrupt thread when the last threaded
handler is removed because it would suck for things like ppbus(8)'s
braindead behavior. The code is present, though, it is just under
#if 0 for now.
- Move the code to actually execute the threaded handlers for an interrrupt
event into a separate function so that ithread_loop() becomes more
readable. Previously this code was all in the middle of ithread_loop()
and indented halfway across the screen.
- Made struct intr_thread private to kern_intr.c and replaced td_ithd
with a thread private flag TDP_ITHREAD.
- In statclock, check curthread against idlethread directly rather than
curthread's proc against idlethread's proc. (Not really related to intr

- In tick_start() don't reset the tick counter of the boot processor to
zero. It's initially reset in _start() and afterwards but _before_
tick_start() is called on the BSP the APs synchronise with the tick
counter of the BSP in mp_startup(). Resetting the tick counter of the
BSP in tick_start() probably also was the cause of problems seen when
using the CPU tick counter as timecounter on SMP machines.
Not resetting the tick counter of the BSP in mp_startup() makes the
tick counters and tick interrupts between the BSP and APs be pretty
much in sync as it's supposed to be. This also means there's no longer
a real reason to have separate tick_start() and tick_start_ap() so
merge them and zap tick_start_ap(). This is also a first step in
simplifying the interface to the tick counters in preparation to use
alternate clock hardware where available.
- Switch to the algorithm used on FreeBSD/ia64 for updating the tick
interrupt register and which compensates the clock drift caused by
varying delays between when the tick interrupts actually trigger and
when they are serviced. Not compensating the clock drift mainly hurts
interactive performance especially when using WITNESS. [2]
For further information about the algorithm also see the commit log
of sys/ia64/ia64/interrupt.c rev. 1.38.
On sparc64 the sysctls for monitoring the behaviour of the tick
interrupts are machdep.tick.adjust_edges, machdep.tick.adjust_excess,
machdep.tick.adjust_missed and machdep.tick.adjust_ticks.

until a proper handler is set up later. This also stops the system

critical_enter() and critical_exit() are now solely a mechanism for
deferring kernel preemptions. They no longer have any affect on
interrupts. This means that standalone critical sections are now very
cheap as they are simply unlocked integer increments and decrements for the
common case.
Spin mutexes now use a separate KPI implemented in MD code: spinlock_enter()
and spinlock_exit(). This KPI is responsible for providing whatever MD
guarantees are needed to ensure that a thread holding a spin lock won't
be preempted by any other code that will try to lock the same lock. For
now all archs continue to block interrupts in a "spinlock section" as they
did formerly in all critical sections. Note that I've also taken this
opportunity to push a few things into MD code rather than MI. For example,
critical_fork_exit() no longer exists. Instead, MD code ensures that new
threads have the correct state when they are created. Also, we no longer
try to fixup the idlethreads for APs in MI code. Instead, each arch sets
the initial curthread and adjusts the state of the idle thread it borrows
in order to perform the initial context switch.
This change is largely a big NOP, but the cleaner separation it provides
will allow for more efficient alternative locking schemes in other parts
of the kernel (bare critical sections rather than per-CPU spin mutexes
for per-CPU data for example).

specified register, but a pointer to the in-memory representation of
that value. The reason for this is twofold:
1. Not all registers can be represented by a register_t. In particular
FP registers fall in that category. Passing the new register value
by reference instead of by value makes this point moot.
2. When we receive a G or P packet, both are for writing a register,
the packet will have the register value in target-byte order and
in the memory representation (modulo the fact that bytes are sent
as 2 printable hexadecimal numbers of course). We only need to
decode the packet to have a pointer to the register value.
This change fixes the bug of extracting the register value of the P
packet as a hexadecimal number instead of as a bit array. The quick
(and dirty) fix to bswap the register value in gdb_cpu_setreg() as
it has been added on i386 and amd64 can therefore be removed and has
in fact been that.

these two reasons:
1. On ia64 a function pointer does not hold the address of the first
instruction of a functions implementation. It holds the address
of a function descriptor. Hence the user(), btrap(), eintr() and
bintr() prototypes are wrong for getting the actual code address.
2. The logic forces interrupt, trap and exception entry points to
be layed-out contiguously. This can not be achieved on ia64 and is
generally just bad programming.
The MCOUNT_FROMPC_USER macro is used to set the frompc argument to
some kernel address which represents any frompc that falls outside
the kernel text range. The macro can expand to ~0U to bail out in
that case.
The MCOUNT_FROMPC_INTR macro is used to set the frompc argument to
some kernel address to represent a call to a trap or interrupt
handler. This to avoid that the trap or interrupt handler appear to
be called from everywhere in the call graph. The macro can expand
to ~0U to prevent adjusting frompc. Note that the argument is selfpc,
not frompc.

the original code in sys/libkern/mcount.c. People can take it from

subset ("compatible", "device_type", "model" and "name") of the standard
properties in drivers for devices on Open Firmware supported busses. The
standard properties "reg", "interrupts" und "address" are not covered by
this interface because they are only of interest in the respective bridge
code. There's a remaining standard property "status" which is unclear how
to support properly but which also isn't used in FreeBSD at present.
This ofw_bus kobj-interface allows to replace the various (ebus_get_node(),
ofw_pci_get_node(), etc.) and partially inconsistent (central_get_type()
vs. sbus_get_device_type(), etc.) existing IVAR ones with a common one.
This in turn allows to simplify and remove code-duplication in drivers for
devices that can hang off of more than one OFW supported bus.
- Convert the sparc64 Central, EBus, FHC, PCI and SBus bus drivers and the
drivers for their children to use the ofw_bus kobj-interface. The IVAR-
interfaces of the Central, EBus and FHC are entirely replaced by this. The
PCI bus driver used its own kobj-interface and now also uses the ofw_bus
one. The IVARs special to the SBus, e.g. for retrieving the burst size,
remain.
Beware: this causes an ABI-breakage for modules of drivers which used the
IVAR-interfaces, i.e. esp(4), hme(4), isp(4) and uart(4), which need to be
recompiled.
The style-inconsistencies introduced in some of the bus drivers will be
fixed by tmm@ in a generic clean-up of the respective drivers later (he
requested to add the changes in the "new" style).
- Convert the powerpc MacIO bus driver and the drivers for its children to
use the ofw_bus kobj-interface. This invloves removing the IVARs related
to the "reg" property which were unused and a leftover from the NetBSD
origini of the code. There's no ABI-breakage caused by this because none
of these driver are currently built as modules.
There are other powerpc bus drivers which can be converted to the ofw_bus
kobj-interface, e.g. the PCI bus driver, which should be done together
with converting powerpc to use the OFW PCI code from sparc64.
- Make the SBus and FHC front-end of zs(4) and the sparc64 eeprom(4) take
